 Free Download Bill Dunn, "Neither Free Trade Nor Protection: A Critical Political Economy of Trade Theory and Practice" English | ISBN: 1783471921 | 2015 | 240 pages | PDF | 1440 KB Neither Free Trade Nor Protection provides a critical exploration of mainstream and alternative theories of international trade and presents original evidence of trade's consequences. It rejects the choice between openness and closure. Mainstream economists almost always support 'free trade' but their arguments for this are flawed and too often rely on a caricature of their opponents as simple-minded protectionists. Meanwhile, many critics successfully emphasize shortcomings of the orthodoxy but struggle to identify a more positive agenda, either seeing free trade as a desirable, if unachievable, end or equally simplistically blaming trade for international inequality. Both sides of the trade debate share much in terms of how they understand the objectives of national wealth and in how they overlook other economic processes and social questions.

The maritime field has over time undergone a drastic transformation, both on the military and non-military fronts. Amongst a horde of other activities, sea connectivity and trade take pride of place as drivers of the global economy. The International Maritime Organisation, which cobbled together the UN Convention on Law of the Sea in 1982, assists in the crafting of much-needed maritime conventions to fulfil the vital need of establishing universally acceptable standards for maritime safety, security and environmental protection.  Free Download Gorky Chakraborty, "Negotiating Borders and Borderlands: The Indian Experience" English | ISBN: 9354423744 | 2023 | 388 pages | PDF | 5 MB Borders have always been seen as physical lines of separation, which mark the 'other' and group geographical spaces into territories and nation-States. However, can borders and borderlands also simultaneously exist as gateways for trade and commerce while being rigid institutions that disallow the movement of people from one part to another? Are some borders seen while others are only felt? Negotiating Borders and Borderlands shows how these 'in-between' spaces of borders have their own stories to tell. The chapters move beyond the Statist view of borders and provide a picture of borderlands from the perspective of those who inhabit such spaces. The authors show how the impact of Partition still echoes in the borderlands of postcolonial India, located along the land boundaries of Bangladesh, China, Myanmar, and Pakistan. They discuss * issues of displacement, citizenship, territoriality, and identity that followed the often arbitrary boundary demarcations during the colonial period; * how disputed political borders and cross-border military action affect the everyday lives of people; * the sociocultural practices of minority communities in neighbouring countries; and * the crucial role played by symbolic, invisible borders that present through the creation of the 'self' versus the 'other'.

Free Download David M. Higgins, "National Brands and Global Markets " English | ISBN: 0367754975 | 2023 | 264 pages | PDF | 9 MB Between Brexit, efforts to 'Make America great again', and ongoing appeals for patriotic consumption to boost economies, the intersection between national identity, marketing campaigns, and consumer choices has been brought to the fore. This book maps out this terrain and provides a framework for how research on 'Made in' campaigns and programmes in individual countries can be placed into a broader historical context. The book argues that the history of 'Made in' can be used to shed light on society at large: the actors that have promoted it, the institutions that have regulated it, and the cultural environments that have attributed it meaning. At times 'Made in' has been a basic, descriptive trade mark, while, in other periods, it has been a key component of carefully developed commercial brands, and in yet other instances it has been used in attempts to forge and redefine national identities. The book opens with an introduction to the three key factors which have featured prominently in 'Made in' campaigns - commercial logic, national economic policy, and its use as an instrument in political discourse, and it provides an overview of the evolution of 'Made in' from a marketing perspective. This is followed by country-specific discussions of 'Made in' with case studies including countries in Western Europe, the US, Japan, and the antipodes.  Free Download Steven Allen, "Narratives of Place in Literature and Film " English | ISBN: 1138499927 | 2018 | 236 pages | PDF | 2 MB Narratives of place link people and geographic location with a cultural imaginary through literature and visual narration. Contemporary literature and film often frame narratives with specific geographic locations, which saturate the narrative with cultural meanings in relation to natural and man-made landscapes. This interdisciplinary collection seeks to interrogate such connections to probe how place is narrativized in literature and film. Utilizing close readings of specific filmic and literary texts, all chapters serve to tease out cultural and historical meanings in respect of human engagement with landscapes. Always mindful of national, cultural and topographical specificity, the book is structured around five core themes: Contested Histories of Place; Environmental Landscapes; Cityscapes; The Social Construction of Place; and Landscapes of Belonging.
